turbinate bone in dogs

The small curved bones that extends horizontally along the lateral wall of the nasal passage. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the turbinate bone is

The small curved bones that extends horizontally along the lateral wall of the nasal passage. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the turbinate bone is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the turbinate bone connects to

The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, bone element and chondrocranium, and 2 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the turbinate bone. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as ossified nasal turbinal, ossified nasal turbinate, ossified turbinate, turbinal bone, turbinate bone and concha. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the turbinate bone?

It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the turbinate bone connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, bone element, chondrocranium, neurocranium and organ.

Is the turbinate bone the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
